As many as 229 more Turkish nationals departed from Afghanistan's capital Kabul on two A400M transport aircraft of the Turkish Air Force early Monday.

Efforts to evacuate Turkish citizens from the war-torn country are underway at the Hamid Karzai International Airport.

Thousands have been scrambling to flee Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover of the country on Aug. 15.
